Morocco vacationsTours & vacations in 2019 & 2020

Morocco vacations take us out of our winter greys and blacks and whisk us, within a three hour flight, into a rainbow of raucous colours and enlightening Islamic culture. Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, Essaouira and Casablanca, every town has a medina or souk where the array of colours, from spices to slippers, cushions to costume jewellery, shakes off any pre-vacation blues. Whatever the time of year.

The most memorable for us, it was probably being able to stay in the sort of places that brought us into immediate contact with genuine Moroccans! Also the friendliness of the people and experiencing the diametric contrast in culture was great. (more)Christina Deacon

Excellent....I really enjoyed going round the northern part of Morocco under his guidance. Chefchaouen is a place I've wanted to go to for a long time so it was incredible to finally see it for real. And Moulay Idriss was a total surprise.

Fantastic. Mourad was a great guide, he went out of his way to help us make the most of the trip and was a lot of fun. We were able to see and learn much about this beautiful country in a short space of time. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Excellent. Both the douar and riad are wonderful places to stay. We were looked after and the food deserves a special mention. The arrival in the evening to discover our candle lit room was magical. (more)evin dilber

The whole trip was memorable and exciting.

Camel riding in the Sahara was the most memorable. The tour covered all the places we wished to see and provided a good insight into life in Morocco. We enjoyed being a small group (there were 6 of us) as this gave us more control over what we wanted to do. (more)Gabrielle Harrop

Seeing so many different things - a diverse vacation both in landscape and in people. Excellent - thoroughly enjoyed it. Would certainly recommend it. (more)Paula Hotstonmoore

The overall challenge of climbing to the summit was wonderful. Waking in the mountains every morning and spending a few hours happily hiking whilst
enjoying the fresh mountain air and the views was just perfect. I loved it. An experience of a lifetime. I loved it all, and the group dynamic was so supportive and friendly. (more)Anita Howard

Fabulous vacation. I achieved my goal of climbing Mount Toubkal (with a bit of help from the guide/porters), met some lovely people (now new friends), learnt
a lot about the Moroccan culture and the Atlas Mountains, and saw some spectacular scenery. (more)Pam Harris
